We are entering our 8th year of existence (counting the two years as EverythingViet), our sixth as AvenueViet, which has now been active for five whole years.

This is cause for celebration, which we'll do in style at the Meet and Greet Pub - and we can do so lavishlsy, because we didn't even have to have a fund-raiser this time. Last time, our members were so generous (especially Seed, Mat Hi Cuoi, Minisinoo and Max) that we had enough left over to cover the next subscription cycle to our server.

Come to the Pub, all food and drinks will be on the house.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but I can't help but notice that the people who gave money last time haven't been seen around hardly at all lately. Ominous sign for next year?

Never mind - Happy Anniversary to us anyway.

That we survived so long despite the nay-sayers (not to mention sabotage from other sites) is a tribute to the Mods and Techies of this site - and its wonderful members.
